Justify My Glove


Sometimes I am dazzled by the mediocrity of my own mind. Why, I was dazzled only yesterday in trying to find ways to describe our new lace gloves.  One pair of these was featured in the Sunday Times Style magazine a few weeks ago worn by Madonna.

What happens is, after many years of reading fashion magazines, one’s head becomes filled with clichés that over time morph into hard-wired reflexes. One of the most obvious is when it comes to thinking of ‘black’. Ah! All together now – THE NEW BLACK. So black is the new black. Or new is the new black. Etc.

 
Rich pickings have been had over Madonna over the decades. Mine are:
 
“Ideal for Weddings – Like a Virgin”. (bit risky. May look like I am making value judgement. May get barred from UK like that US DJ).
Or

“Marriage Material Girl”. Because these gloves are good for bridal ensembles. Dazzler.
